Child Abuse & Neglect SurveillanceChild Abuse Surveillance, Child Neglect Surveillance and Child Molestation Surveillance
Child abuse is an insidious crime. The abuse can be physical, sexual, economic, emotional, or mental. Child Protection Agencies are mandated to investigate all legitimate allegations of child abuse, neglect, or dependency, but their resources and investigative techniques are limited, and due to the unfortunate proliferation of these cases, their staffs are often inundated and overwhelmed. Determinations of “No findings of abuse” can be common where abuse most definitely exists. Often times, the burden of proof falls on the shoulders of the distraught parent. We can help. Surveillance is an effective technique to gather evidence of your child’s living conditions and treatment and record any inappropriate interactions between your child and the suspected perpetrator. Taking the word of your child is not enough. Often times, perpetrators of abuse and sexual predators will use threats to ensure vehement denials. It is far more important to give credence to the behavior of your child and the behavior and actions of those around them then to their words. Negative behaviors associated with child abusers:
Abuse or Neglect Sadly, a child is most likely to be abused or neglected by the people closest to them, including parents. Like in any case of mistreatment, the sooner you can eradicate the behavior, the sooner the healing can begin. Equally, the longer the duration of the abuse, the greater the long term damage. All suspicions of abuse need to be investigated and swift action needs to be taken to protect your child. Signs of Abuse: If your child…
Signs of Neglect: If your child…
Child Molestation Molesters prey upon our powerless and vulnerable children, and then guarantee their silence with threats. Any suspicions you have should be acted on immediately. If you believe that a child you love is being abused, neglected, or sexually exploited, their present and future quality of life and maybe even their very survival may depend upon your quick and strategic action.

False Allegations of Abuse Making an accusation of child abuse has been described as the “perfect weapon” in family court. Child Custody cases are often muddied up with accusations leveled by one party against another. Allegations can be made maliciously to punish and gain leverage over the other parent or to limit access to their child out of a genuine concern for their welfare. Many parents begin throwing false accusations around the courtroom simply in order to win their case. These false allegations have lead to gross miscarriages of justice, convicted innocent people, destroyed families and ruined childhoods. As private investigators, we are often faced with the task of “catching people in the act.” When someone has been falsely accused of something, our mission becomes more subjective. We must prove a negative, prove what didn’t happen. A WA Private Investigator can help gather evidence of proper conduct to refute the allegations. We want to help you make sure you have adequate time with your child and we will work with you to document your true relationship with your child both in action and emotion. Although the burden of proof should fall on the shoulders of the accusers, we can take some of the weight of this daunting task that lies ahead. Our Consultations are 100% Confidential.

Hidden “Nanny Cams,” Nanny Screening and Caregiver Background Check Before you trust them with your children, trust us to get the information you need. We are all too familiar with the video footage of concerned parents who place hidden cameras in their home to view how the Nanny they hired is caring for their children. The images of helpless babies being violently shaken or of toddlers being slapped and berated are indelibly etched in our minds. Less reported but equally as disturbing is the video footage of the physical and emotional abuse of elders placed in the hands of “Senior Caregivers.” Prevent abuse before it starts. Although we think Nanny Cams are wonderful monitoring tools, just one violent incident could cause irreparable damage or even death. Doesn't it make sense to know everything you could about this person before they enter your home? Contact us today to initiate a Background Investigation on your Prospective Caretaker.

A WA Private Investigator can verify their Social Security Number, check their Driving Record and search Criminal and Civil court Records.

Child Support Surveillance For the absentee parents who have successfully absconded with little or no paper trail of their current employment or for those who are claiming no employment, working under the table, using someone else’s identity or a false social security number, surveillance can sometimes be the only option to collect convincing evidence to present to a judge to enforce a collection order. While they’re working for themselves, We work for you. The good news is that most delinquent parents don’t usually expect to be the target of surveillance. They may assume the precautions they have taken, to hide income, are bullet proof. This usually allows a Child Support Investigator to document their daily activity and unearth their place or places of employment (if any) in short order. Lengths of surveillance may vary, but in general the courts like to see at least three partial days of consistent behavior or vocational activity to establish lifestyle and/or employment.
